Nebraska Religious Coalition for Science Education Speakers Bureau

The following clergy, lay leaders, and scholars have generously volunteered to make themselves available to schools, religious congregations, and community groups as their schedules permit. They are happy to discuss the compatibility of evolutionary science with faith in a divine Creator. NRCSE does not coordinate speaking engagements. To invite a speaker, please contact that speaker directly. Thanks for your interest!
